Double Swiss Background Sunday

Good Sunday morning all!  The Swiss Background is being showcased for today's double day!  For the first card, I cut the background in papyrus card and backed it in black, then cut thee centre of it out.  I added mounting foam to the back of the frame I created.  I cut the Stitched Lattice frame die in both white and black and offset the black as a shadow.  I mounted the frame over it.  I covered a piece of white card with a sticky self adhesive sheet, coated it in Diamond Sprinkles and then added the entire piece to a white glittered backing card.  I stamped my sentiment in black and cut it out with the oval from the Swiss tag.  I cut the decorative part of the tag in both white and black and offset them for another shadow.  I mounted the tags in the centre of the frame with the sentiment added to them.  The card was completed with white, papyrus and black mats and small flatback pearls around the frame.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x  8 1/2" in size.  Scroll down for card number two.

Card number two is a stair step card using the same background die.  Generally I tend to recess rather than mount upwards, but every once in awhile, the mood just strikes to do it differently!  I cut the Swiss Background in white and backed it with a piece of dusty rose card (from my stash).  I cut the next size in white, backed in dusty rose and added it with mounting foam to the centre.  Finally I cut the smallest die in the set in white and backed it in rose and added it with mounting foam.  I stamped my sentiment, covered it with a small piece of self adhesive sheet.  I cut the Swiss tag in white and backed  it in white then cut the centre.  I added mounting foam and added it over my sentiment after removing the backing paper. I sprinkles Diamond Snow into the opening to glitter the sentiment and added the tag horizontally across the background.  I used the Exquisite Poppy set to make three flowers and added them in the corner with Heart Sprays as accents.  White and rose mats were used to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 6" x  7 3/4" in size.
